RightSpotpH Indicators For Point-of-Care Testing
Bringing Care Directly To Patients
By providing immediate results, point-of-care testing enables healthcare professionals to make quick, informed decisions about patient care. At RightBio Metrics, we understand the critical importance of accurate and timely point-of-care testing in medical settings. Our flagship product, the RightSpotpH® indicator, is designed to address one of the most challenging aspects of patient care: ensuring the correct placement of NG (Nasogastric) and OG (Orogastric) feeding tubes. This groundbreaking technology is now also compatible with ENFit connectors.
We have a wide variety of written resources available below that provide valuable information for POC coordinators and care providers. If more clarification is needed, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Transforming Patient Safety In Point-of-Care Testing
The traditional process of checking NG and OG tube placement can be complex, time-consuming, and even dangerous, often requiring healthcare professionals to rely on inefficient and unreliable tests. The RightSpotpH® indicator transforms this process, providing an immediate and reliable method for gastric pH testing at the point of care.
NG tube insertion and OG tube insertion are common procedures in healthcare settings, but they come with their own set of risks, the most significant being misplacement. The RightSpotpH® indicator provides immediate feedback during these processes, ensuring that the tubes are inserted in the correct location. This not only enhances patient safety but also improves the efficiency of healthcare delivery.
The RightSpotpH® indicator is designed for ease of use, making it a practical addition to any point-of-care testing environment. By providing immediate results on gastric pH, it eliminates the need for x-ray confirmation, offering a safer, quicker, and more cost-effective solution for verifying tube placement.
The RightSpotpH® indicator is transforming the way healthcare professionals check NG tube placement and check OG tube placement. By bringing gastric pH testing to the point of care, RightBio Metrics is making NG tube insertion and OG tube insertion safer and more efficient than ever before.
We invite you to further discover how pH testing can revolutionize gastric tube placement in point-of-care testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the RightSpotpH Indicator ideal for point-of-care settings?
The user-friendly design of the RightSpotpH Indicator makes it suitable for various settings, especially point-of-care settings. By offering a clear and swift verification method, it ensures even caregivers or patients at home can confidently check NG tube placement or check OG tube placement without the need for frequent hospital visits.
What is point-of-care testing in relation to NG and OG tubes?
Point-of-care testing refers to medical diagnostic testing performed at or near the site of patient care. When dealing with NG and OG tubes, this kind of testing allows healthcare providers to administer care to the patient in a more comfortable and timely manner. The RightSpotpH Indicator serves as a key tool in this process, streamlining the confirmation of correct tube placement.
Why is gastric pH testing significant in point-of-care environments?
Gastric pH testing offers a quick and trustworthy method to verify if an NG or OG tube is correctly placed in the stomach. The RightSpotpH Indicator, specially designed for this purpose, provides an efficient way to perform these tests in point-of-care settings, giving immediate feedback on tube positioning.
What are the risks if NG or OG tubes are not correctly placed and how does the RightSpotpH Indicator help?
Incorrect tube placement, such as in the lungs or esophagus, can lead to serious complications like aspiration pneumonia. The RightSpotpH Indicator, by facilitating rapid and accurate pH testing, plays a pivotal role in ensuring correct tube placement in point-of-care settings, significantly minimizing these risks.
How does the RightSpotpH Indicator assist in NG tube insertion?
When performing an NG tube insertion, it's vital to ensure the correct placement to avoid potential complications. Once the tube is inserted, the RightSpotpH Indicator can be used to instantly check the gastric pH, verifying the tube's position in the stomach and reducing the risk of misplacement.
How do I use the RightSpotpH Indicator to check OG tube placement in point-of-care settings?
To check OG tube placement with the RightSpotpH Indicator, after inserting the OG tube, aspirate a small amount of gastric content and introduce it to the indicator. The RightSpotpH Indicator will then provide a pH reading. A pH of 5.5 or less typically indicates correct placement in the stomach.
How does the RightSpotpH Indicator differ from traditional methods of tube placement verification?
Traditional methods of tube placement verification often rely on subjective measures or require time-consuming laboratory tests. The RightSpotpH Indicator simplifies the process by directly assessing the pH of the gastric content, offering immediate results. Its simplicity and speed make it particularly valuable in time-sensitive point-of-care settings.
Why is the RightSpotpH Indicator considered a breakthrough in NG/OG tube placement verification?
The RightSpotpH Indicator is a game-changer because it offers a rapid, accurate, and user-friendly method to confirm the proper placement of NG/OG tubes. This innovative tool ensures that caregivers can promptly and reliably verify tube positioning, reducing the potential for complications. Unreliable and dangerous tests are no longer needed in order to confirm NG/OG tube placement with the introduction of the RightSpotpH indicator.
